Level 1 Pool Inspections: What to Expect 

There are many different types of home inspections on the market but not all home inspectors have experience with swimming pools. Pool equipment, structures and surrounding areas are unique and complicated. This means it’s always better to rely on the experts to assess and review the condition of a swimming pool. 

Swimming pool inspections can be scheduled for a variety of reasons including permitting, construction planning or insurance coverage. There’s no doubt that these are useful but they don’t always answer the question of whether or not a pool actually works. A level 1 pool inspection focuses on functionality and condition. 

Instead of performing a visual overview of a swim space and assuming that water systems are running smoothly Puddle technicians go beneath the surface for a full view. The best way to determine whether or not a pool is functional is to break the inspection process down into steps the address structures, internal systems and surrounding areas. 

Visual Inspections: A quick glance won’t tell you much about a swimming pool and its water systems but a trained eye can spot those small details that signal a problem. Even a small tear in a vinyl liner, for example, will get worse over time leading to pool leaks, serious water loss and a whole lot of headache. Puddle technicians will assess concrete structures, vinyl liners and surrounding areas for signs of physical damage. 

Water System Testing: Even if pools look great from the outside there can still be problems lurking just below the surface. Puddle technicians will review key components like pool filters, pumps, plumbing lines and more. In addition to making sure that internal water systems are functional our crews make sure that heaters are operational too. 

Assessing Surrounding Areas & Safety Features: The area around a pool will impact overall condition. If pool decking is rotten or coming apart it is a risk to nearby swim spaces. Safety should always be a top priority around swimming pools. Keeping things safe for swimmers means making sure that accessories and safety features are in good shape. Visual inspections and light testing of safety railings, ladders, diving boards and slides ensure that there isn’t any corrosion, damage or loose fittings to worry about.
